Investigation on Ganoderma Infection in Oil Palm Based on the Cultural Characteristics and Somatic Compatibility: A Case Study in Sandakan, Sabah

Sustainability of the oil palm in Malaysia is threatened by Ganoderma species causing stem rot. There were many studies conducted to understand the etiology and epidemiology of the disease in West Malaysia, however none of them reported the situation in Sabah, one of the leading producers. Moreover,...
